 WHAT IS BAND CAMP?

Excellent musical instruction in a fun-filled week!  The Saskatchewan Band Association offers comprehensive instruction for woodwind, brass and percussion students who have one or more years of playing experience. 

Band Camps are hosted in Regina, Saskatoon and Yorkton as week-long day camps.

Our Prairielands Jazz Camp, held in Regina, kicks off the summer in early July and is also open to ALL band students with at least 1 year of playing a band instrument... no previous Jazz experience required!  

What to Expect:

        • Expert band & instrument specific training provided by band directors & qualified professional musicians - including guest national clinicians for the Jazz camp
        • Private lessons, master classes and instrument specific sectionals
        • Theory, rhythm & ear training
        • Ensemble and full band concerts 
        • Staff performances, recreation & lots of FUN! 

Incredible Value:  In ONE week at an SBA Band Camp, participants receive as much direct instructional time as they do in 3-4 months with many school band programs.

THE CAMP EXPERIENCE 

Participants experience a week filled with making new friends, specialized band instruction and fun that they won't soon forget!  

On the first morning of camp participants are assigned to a band that corresponds to their musical experience and performance ability.  SBA Band Camps focus on improving performance skills that relate directly to the positive experiences of playing in a large ensemble.  Throughout the week participants' schedules vary to accommodate the wide range of activities the camp offers.  Of course, to showcase the hard work of the campers, each camp wraps up with an exciting public concert.  

RECREATION

SBA Camps mix work and fun - it is summer after all!  Although music is the focus, recreation and fun are an essential ingredient in the overall camp experience.  In addition to breaks and free time, each day, a wide-array of planned activities keep students active and involved.  Depending on each camp's schedule on-site special activities including dances, movies, student talent shows etc. may also be scheduled to add extra fun to the camp experience. Due to the intensive training during Jazz Camp, please note that recreation time is not as plentiful.

ROOM & BOARD

Room and board is not offered at the Regina, Saskatoon, Yorkton Band Camps, or for the Prairieland Jazz Camp.
